Ok, there are several ways. They could be removing the transformer and power supply assembly and putting it in a separate housing. Or, installing something between the transformer and chassis. I have done both. I am guessing it is the second option. I use a material called blackhole pad. It dampens vibrations and you can make a gasket of similar material to insert under the transformer. The removal of the power supply is more effective at isolation for stray electrical contamination. Another possibility is a housing or patrician to shield the other circuits from the power supply.
